Nobody says what to actually track.

✅ HOW TO PAPER TRADE THE RIGHT WAY:
1. Use real market conditions – same spreads, same fees
2. Trade your actual strategy – not “just experimenting”
3. Track these 3 metrics:
· Win Rate
· Risk/Reward Ratio
· Maximum Drawdown
4. Don’t go live until you’re profitable for 3 straight weeks
